Regenerating Playwright Screenshot Expectations

Automates the process of triggering the PR: Update Playwright Expectations GitHub Action by creating a labeled PR from origin/main.

Steps

Fetch latest main
```
git fetch origin main
```
Create a timestamped branch from origin/main

Format: regen-screenshots/YYYY-MM-DDTHH (hour resolution, local time)
```
git checkout -b regen-screenshots/<datetime> origin/main
```

Create an empty commit

git commit --allow-empty -m "test: regenerate screenshot expectations"

Push the branch

git push origin regen-screenshots/<datetime>

Generate a poem about regenerating screenshots. Be creative — a new, unique poem every time. Short (4–8 lines). Can be funny, wistful, epic, haiku-style, limerick, sonnet fragment — vary the form.

Create the PR with the poem as the body (no label yet).

Write the poem to a temp file and use --body-file:

# Write poem to temp file
# Create PR:
gh pr create \
  --base main \
  --head regen-screenshots/<datetime> \
  --title "test: regenerate screenshot expectations" \
  --body-file <temp-file>

Add the label as a separate step to trigger the GitHub Action.

The labeled event only fires when a label is added after PR creation, not when applied during creation via --label.

Use the GitHub API directly (gh pr edit --add-label fails due to deprecated Projects Classic GraphQL errors):
```
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/<pr-number>/labels \
  -f "labels[]=New Browser Test Expectations" --method POST
```
Report the result to the user:
- PR URL
- Branch name
- Note that the GitHub Action will run automatically and commit updated screenshots to the branch.

Notes

The New Browser Test Expectations label triggers the pr-update-playwright-expectations.yaml workflow.
The workflow runs Playwright with --update-snapshots, commits results back to the PR branch, then removes the label.
This is fire-and-forget — no need to wait for or monitor the Action.
Always return to the original branch/worktree state after pushing.
